Chapter 459

Old lady Chu is already in the carriage.

See Xia Yi on the carriage, indigo then handed over a hand stove.

"Warm your hands." Chu Laofu said, "it's too cold today."

Xia Yi puts down the food box and takes over the heater. In an instant, her palm is warm.

Chu old lady saw Xia Yi put aside the food box, can't help but ask: "how into the palace also with the food box?"

Xia Yi put the hand stove on her leg, then opened the food box and said, "here are some dumplings. You can take them back later to have a taste."

"This is for me?" Old lady Chu's eyes flashed and asked.

"Well." Xia Yi will cover the food box again, "there are my bags, and Yangyang and huojie bags in it. Now it's cold and dumplings can be put for a long time, which doesn't affect the taste."

"Well, it happens that I haven't eaten dumplings yet. Let baiguanshi cook them in the evening."

Chu old lady said, holding Xia Yi's hand, "it's said that making dumplings is a waste of time. You got up early."

The palm of old lady Chu's hand is warm. She sticks it on Xia Yi's hand and takes away the cool air of Xia Yi's hand.

"Fortunately, there were two of them to help." Xia Yi said.

Old lady Chu laughed, "what can they do for you? It's good if they don't make trouble for you."

"I don't have anything for you. I just took some hand oil from the royal doctor." Old lady Chu turned her head and looked at indigo.

Qingdai then took out a white porcelain vase.

This porcelain vase is a little bigger than usual, but its opening is in the shape of gooseneck, long and thin.

As soon as Xia Yi opened, he smelled a very strong fragrance.

I dropped a drop on my hand, like an oil.

Xia Yi's hands overlapped and rubbed a few times, and the oily object completely fainted.

It's kind of like the glycerin she's seen in modern times.

Xia Yi can't help sighing that the wisdom of the ancients is really not simple, such hand oil does have the effect of cracking.

"You work a lot on weekdays, and your hands are easy to crack in winter. The imperial doctor says it's very useful. Try it first. If it doesn't work well, I'll ask him for something else." Said old lady Chu.

Xia Yi spread out her hands in front of old lady Chu, "it's very useful, you see!"

Old lady Chu couldn't see anything. She could only see that Xia Yi's white hand seemed to be shining. She stretched out her hand and touched it. It was slippery.

Chu old lady immediately opened a smile, "useful good."

Xia Yi and old lady Chu arrived early. Before the winter solstice banquet, there were only a few scattered people.

The main hall is too big. Although there is a heater in the middle, the door needs to be opened and closed before people come and go. There is no heat at all.

Those who had come early did not dare to surround the heater directly. They could only gasp and shiver at the same time.

"Come on, I'll show you a warm place." The old lady of Chu led Xia Yi directly across the hall to the emperor's study.

Dou Gonggong is guarding outside. He doesn't stop them or inform them, so he takes old lady Chu and Xia Yi in directly.

The study is divided into internal and external rooms. The external room is larger, and it is a place to discuss affairs with ministers on weekdays.

Xiayi has not been in yet. It is supposed to be the place for the emperor to read memorials and rest on weekdays.

There is a door between the outside and the inside, which does not interfere with each other.

Dou Gong was in front of the door. "Your Majesty, old lady Chu and Miss Xia Yi are here."

"Come in." The emperor's voice rang out.

Duke Dou just pushed the door.

A warm wind came from the shop.

Xia Yi sees the furnishings of the interior clearly.

A couch, a table, several chairs, a big heater in the middle, that's all.

It's much simpler than Xia Yi expected.

The heater is right in the middle of the room. It doesn't look like it was moved here temporarily, but it seems to be in the house all the time.

I think this heater should have been on fire early.

As soon as the door was closed, the temperature in the room was almost the same as that in spring and autumn. After sitting for a while, Xia Yi and old lady Chu had to take off their cloaks.

The emperor saw the food box in her hand.

He couldn't help joking: "I'm afraid I won't have enough to eat at my dinner? I've brought some food with me! "

Old lady Chu said with a smile, "this is the winter solstice dumpling that Xia Yi specially made for me. It doesn't conflict with the emperor's banquet."

There's a lot of flaunting in her tone.

The emperor immediately became sour and looked at Xia Yi, "why don't I? At least you came to my banquet as well... "

If it were for other people, they would have been in a state of panic. But Xia Yi didn't think there was anything wrong with it. He just said calmly, "emperor, don't say that you don't have dumplings at the winter solstice banquet, but you have all the ears of man Chao Wen Wu in your hands..."

"You this wench..." the Emperor didn't expect that Xia Yi could be so righteous, but shook his head.

When Xia Yi talked with him, it was as if he was really a junior in his family. There was not so much fear, and the emperor felt more comfortable.

He also turned into a rogue elder like an old urchin, "man, how can this heart grow biased..."

Xia Yi said: "just now I'm joking with you. If you want to eat, I'll give you a bag later. It's no trouble."

Listen to Xia Yi and the emperor, you say a word to me, the old lady of Chu is in a trance, as if the time has gone back many years.

At that time, when the emperor was not a superior emperor, and her son was not a general, the two people often quarreled.

It's like this, you say a word, I say a word, don't speak logic, don't speak reason, no matter win or lose

Old lady Chu laughed, "there are a lot of dumplings in this food box. It's better for them to cook them. Let's all try them."

Then he turned his head and said to Dou Gonggong, "let someone cook the dumplings in this food box."

Dou Gonggong went out with his food box. The emperor said to Xia Yi, "this is not counted. You can send me some more next time."

"Good."

Xia Yi also laughed, this some arrogant Jiao's appearance is with Xiao Lin Mu to have some minute spirit likeness.

There was a small kitchen in the emperor's study. After a while, Mr. Dou came back with dumplings.

Dumplings are hot and white. They have a good appetite just looking at them.

Dou Gonggong gives Xia Yi some.

Xia Yi didn't refuse either. She thought she couldn't eat the dumplings she made today. She didn't expect to eat them in the palace.

Xia Yi brought the dumplings to her mouth, just not hot.

Xu has not eaten dumplings for a long time. Xia Yi thinks the dumplings are better than before.

The emperor doesn't mind. There's nothing left of those dumplings on the plate.

After he finished eating, he looked at the empty plate, which seemed to be a bit more than he wanted. He did not forget to remind Xia Yi again, "don't forget the dumplings you owe me."
